Don Brandon was the fun guy, the jokester, the storyteller. Even when you had heard the joke or story one thousand times before, he would still manage to make you chuckle and smile.

In his work, Don told stories via his lens by being a damn good cameraman. In life, it was his words, his energy, his heart that told his stories. A small lizard became a baby dinosaur when chatting with his grandkids. A kite became a wondrous sight to behold.  He embraced life, radiated love and adored music. This is the legacy that Don leaves with this world. It was good to be the king.

Donald Wayne Brandon, age 66, formerly of Riverside, Illinois, passed on July 5, 2021 at his home in New Port Richey, Florida. Don was a loving husband to his late wife Eva Brandon, fond father of Jason (Nikki) Brandon, Christie (Andrew) Berry, Michelle Brandon and devoted dog Annie, proud grandfather of Zoey, Ainsley, Madison, Audrey and Andrew Jr., beloved son of the late Edward and Estelle Myszczak, dear brother of Dennis Twarog, and a great friend to all that knew him.
